BRAVO, what a charming, playful, subtle, witty and original movie this is. A delight to watch!
The story: a young woman leaves everything behind to become a writer in the big city New York. Will she succeed or will she become another failed writer?
The good: this movie is a delight, because of it's playful, charming, subtle and witty nature. You dont have to be into books at all to love this movie.
What's most precious for me about this movie is the photography, especially the many GORGEOUS still screen shots of MARGARET QUALLEY. Those eyes of her, those wide open puppy eyes, ooze innocence and emotions so pure and gentle that they are to die for! Never seen this actress before, but I am instantly smitten with her acting performance, so delicate, so true to life, so expressive.
Any bad? This is a slowburning, subtle story, probably best suited for an arthouse movie audience who are into subtle portraits of characters.
A FEAST to watch! Amazing to see it has only gotten 62 reviews, but it must be the corona troubles with distributing movies that this movie has slipped from the radar, because it is definitely worth watching every single minute. What a GEM!
